Polish military parachute shrouds for special operations (standard polish airborne operations, have always been white) have been printed with a unique spot pattern (also nicknamed Żaba or “frog”) since the 1960s. This pattern, incorporates black and orange spots on a pale green background, became popular with Polish airborne and special operations personnel, who cannibalized the parachutes and had one and two-piece custom uniforms created out of them. A variation of the Żaba pattern has darker colors and rain straits incorporated as a micro pattern.
